Chapter 20- It was a fast minivan

Okay so I was originally going to have Valentin come in this chapter but it is too soon. Do not worry he will be showing up within the next 5 maybe 7 chapter’s maximum. I can’t wait for him to show up…… that sounds weird but I love his character…… that sounds weird too. I’m gonna stop talking now

 

Chapter 20

Date: August 19th

Location: Airport

Time: 10:07 a.m.

 

I yawn for what seems like the billionth time and tried to straighten my messy purple hair. Yes you heard me, purple! The real wigs were either in my bag that I graciously 'donated' or Fran just wanted to mess with me. I have already gotten numerous looks and people whispering about that girl. You think they would have seen something weirder.

John grabbed his bag whipping his neon green hair to the side like that singer does and multiple girls swoon. I do not see what is so sexy about that but I am not saying a word to the crazy girls who like to eye a guy in an airport.

“Eric! Ariel!” Matt screamed running towards us and yes you heard him correctly, we were named after the characters from the Little Mermaid. “How are you?!” He asks in a girlish voice kissing both of my cheeks then kissing both of John’s.

Something strange must have happened in the 24 hours that we haven’t been with the group. We played along with it and followed Matt, who looked to be dressed in Armani, and followed him to one of those Hummer limos. It was big, it was white, and it wasn’t causing a lot of attention which seemed weird.

John threw his stuff in the back and I got in the car and was immediately tackled into the leather seat. Peering through my tacky purple hair I saw that Sam had me in a death grip. Terri was opposite of me giving me a meek smile, Fran gave me a look of concern, and Iris had a huge grin on her face.

Once John hops in the car the driver sets off going who knows where. After a few minutes Sam broke the silence by slapping me.

“Ow!” I say rubbing my now sore arm.

“How could you?!” She screamed at me. “You were seriously going to give yourself up to Lockstar?” I glare at John and he puts his hands up defensively.

“I thought they had a right to know.”

“Why did you do it?” Matt asks. “Why would you just give up?”

“Because people are dying because of me, I couldn’t take it anymore.” I explain.

“So giving yourself up would solve that?” Fran questions.

“He gave me a promise that they would stop killing people if I turned myself in.”

“And you believed him?” Terri asks in an incredulous voice. “They can’t be trusted!”

“I know that!” I try and continue before I’m cut off by John.

“But you said you believed him; you believed that he would stop killing them.”

“Yes and I did believe that.”

“Why?” Sam asks again cutting me off before I can thoroughly explain.

“Because you guys weren’t there when he left the hotel, when he almost had me. Lockstar doesn’t want to hurt us; they want to make it as easy as possible so we will be more willing to do whatever the buyer wants. He knows that if he went back on his word I could do some major damage now that I would be inside the company and he knows that too. He wouldn’t risk it.”
